Smaller Clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I was wearing a size 26 pair of jeans in December, I bought 20s yesterday and they fit rather loosely. I could have gotten the 18s, but was too scared of moving down to that number!!!! I think I might go back and get the 18s and 16s to give me a goal!! :redface: WOOHOO

I had that exact same experience... only my mom was with me. I said.. Mom, I don't think my pants fit right... I think they are too big. She came in the room with me... and I ended up having to get a size 16 (mind you... I hadn't bought any clothes that were smaller than at 22) I did not expect to be in a 16... now I'm getting size 12! It's crazy. BUT, one thing I will tell you.... DON'T buy too many clothes in a smaller size just because it's thrilling. I have so many pants in size 16 becaue I went over board. Get just what you NEED. Try to find clothes that are a little tight, and have elastic bands. You will thank me when you are no longer in them, and still have money for the next size down!

When I was loosing, I loved to get one new outfit a month, to help keep me on the right track. Now that I have had my first set of complications (and am gaining weight) I am in a size that I have no clothes for cause I gave them to my friends that were the same size as I was. But I am scheduled to have my band fixed (soon I hope) so I can get back to my 18's... (I started in a 34).

We are getting ready to start a support group in my town and I am going to try to start a clothing exchange along with that. I know I have a load of professional type clothes that I will be moving back into and probably out of pretty quickly that I would hate to just get rid of. I think (hope) a lot of people could benefit from it.

Our support group has the clothing exchange. It is nice to get a new outfit or two. If u don't have alot of money to shop for clothes u can always go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army to get slothes while u are "Shrinking". That will save u some money till u get to a size that u want to but a wider wardrobe in. Just an idea for ya all

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
